Today is Australia Day - a photo on Flickriver

Today is Australia Day

            Celebrated on 26 January every year, it marks the anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the First Fleet of British Ships at Port Jackson, New South Wales, and the raising of the Flag of Great Britain at Sydney Cove by Governor Arthur Phillip. 

A public holiday in mid-summer when many of us enjoy the company of friends at a lunchtime barbeque/picnic etc.

There will be citizenship ceremonies performed across the country for new residents wishing to become Australian citizens.

There are also Australia Day Citizen of the Year Awards given out to worthy recipients.

Some of the aboriginal community now like to call it Invasion Day.

Some more Aussie-isms to confuse my international friends!!  :-)
